Iksar Hide Mask not changing faction.

[Gloomlord]

I am a Halfling Rogue of Bristlebane, and using the mask still makes me con Scowls to all the Iksar factions.

Is this supposed to be happening?

[Jimjam]

They don’t like rogues nor bristlebane.

Masks/illusions just adjust your racial faction. You can still be kos for other reasons

[Old_PVP]

Iksars are a hateful lot. At one point my character was friendly with guards and still KOS to shamans / sks.

Less than agnostic? I see.

Yeah illusions only give you a faction adjustment, lets say +500 (This is just a guess). As mentioned above, religion is a factor when determining starting faction. If Iksars dislike Bristlebane, you may have a -300 (Also just a guess) from that. In this scenario, the mask would only be giving you a net +200. That isn't bad, but https://wiki.project1999.com/Faction scowling has 1000 points within it. I am not sure how close Bristlebane Rogues are to the bottom of scowling by default.

I am assuming you haven't been lowering your Iksar factions in some manner, so that probably isn't an additional factor.

Yeah this is why encs always roll agnostic

[Gloomlord]

Never knew picking Bristlebane would blow up in my face, considering he counts as a neutral god.

[Jimjam]

Yes, but Iksar aren’t neutral. They are very xenophobic. All religions but CT are -1000*. I bet the original devs would have put agnostic as -1000 if they could have!

*actually varies between the different factions in cabilis, e.g the guards are pretty tolerant of Innoruuk at -50 compared to the merchants -1000.

It seems certain guilds are a bit less scathing of VS’s dip into inny.

As an agnostic rogue I have no issues in Cabilis with the Iksar mask.
